Default which cam is better for these heads?

im getting a set of PRC stage 2.5 5.3 heads. and i was wondering which on of these cams would be more worthwhile to put in, the 228R or the TV2 both on a 112 LSA? or is there some custom grind that would put out comprable numbers and be more streetable?

228r is the best choise for perfect street use it smoke like hell go for it no regret . but if u are planing drag racing track that would be another brain storm.

Because it has a better DCR, within 10 rwhp if optimized, better midrange.
Also you don't have gears, clutch etc..

So the 228 is a better choice.

BTW I ran that TV2 and its "Torquer" is a misnomer unless it is optimized for compression and supporting mods.
